9 of the Best Ways to Fragrance Your Home

Is there a certain smell that makes you feel relaxed? Or a particular scent that reminds you of your childhood? Fragrances have the power to change your state of mind and your feelings, for better or worse. With the right fragrance, you can create ambiance or even set the stage for romance. Plus, adding a pleasant fragrance to your home can help cover up your furry friends’ natural aromas.

Whether you’re looking for a way to transport your mind to another more peaceful place or you simply enjoy trying different scents, adding fragrance to your home is easy. Read on to learn the top 9 ways to fragrance your home, both naturally and with LAFCO New York’s luxuriously fragranced products.

The Benefits of Fragrance for Your Home

When you walk into someone else’s home, the scent is one of the first things you notice. Your nose will immediately pick up on lingering aromas as well as the not-so-subtle scents your host may be trying to cover up. If you want to create a welcoming experience for your own guests, fragrance is the perfect way to do it. With the help of the right fragrance, you can make your guests feel welcomed with the added benefit of disguising some of the unpleasant scents that might be lingering.

Here are some of the benefits of using fragrance in your home:

  • Ambiance and atmosphere. Something as simple as a scent can transport your mind to another place or make you feel even more at-home in your own home. Depending on the scent you choose, you can create a unique ambiance or an entirely different atmosphere in your home.
  • Artful decoration. Whether you choose to use a scented candle or a reed diffuser, adding fragrance to your home has an element of décor to it. Greet your guests as soon as they walk through the door with a fragrance that makes them feel welcome.
  • Relaxation and romance. The right fragrance can help you create a romantic setting lit by candlelight or help you clear your mind of the day’s worries.
  • Self-care and mental health. Taking care of your body and mind is easy with the help of the right fragrance. Choosing a soothing or relaxing scent will instill a sense of wellbeing, helping you let go of stress and anxiety for a more relaxed state of mind.
  • Triggering pleasant memories. Your sense of smell is closely tied to your memory and even a simple scent can recall to your mind memories from the past. Recreate a certain time in your life or a specific feeling with the right fragrance.

It doesn’t take a lot to awaken your sense of smell and trigger memories or feelings. If you’re looking for a simple way to fragrance your home, there are plenty of options to consider.

  1. Do you find it helpful in creating that relaxing feeling throughout the house to limit your fragrance to just one and use all your products in that one scent? I like to have the more herbal scents in my kitchen and the watery ones in the bath and florals in the living spaces. I love each room, but I don’t feel like I’m getting that overall feeling of maximum impact adjusting to each scent as I move through the house.

    1. Hi Claudia! Thanks for your comment. If you’re having trouble adjusting to different scents as you move through the house, definitely try to keep them to the same category. For example, all “floral” or all “fruity”.
